Deleted Morpho post on curator economics draws response from Aave founder and CEO

A post published from the official X account of decentralized lending protocol Morpho said that most curator businesses cannot sustain themselves on vault fees alone and in practice rely on private distribution agreements. The post was later deleted the same day, but not before it drew criticism from Aave founder Stani Kulechov, who called it the most bearish possible framing for MORPHO holders. Morpho CEO Paul Frambot responded by saying the post had been published by a third-party AI marketing tool. Morpho operates on Ethereum and other networks, using a vault and curator structure to match lenders and borrowers while managing capital. In that setup, curator businesses are third-party entities that create and manage vaults on top of the Morpho protocol and earn revenue from related fees.
